Thread Name: What Song Makes You Drop Everything?
Subject: RE: What Song Makes You Drop Everything?
Lamarca: No Regrets also does it for me. Have you ever heard Tom Rush do The Panama Limited? I think you'd like it. Makes you want to drop everything & reconcile whatever. Barney, by Ian & Sylvia, is a drop-it song. I play it now because someone asked for a tear-jerker; the responses are interesting. Some people are revulsed by a song about a cowboy shooting his lame horse, but they usually come around, as the meaning of the song transcends animal rights type stuff by far. Other drop-it songs: George Winston playing Spanish Fandango on the guitar; Don't Want to Die in Georgia, by Brewer and Shipley, (and most of their other stuff); I'll Fly Away: Bryan Bowers' slow plaintive version,not the quick time. Norman Blake's John Hardy, and When I Paint My Masterpiece, by anyone. If I heard ANY of these songs on the radio, I'd probably drop everything due to heart failure. (Thanks for permitting my diatribe, I'm new here.)
